Best place

This Buddhist temple is in fact considered as one of the most important and the only archeologically valuable ancient temple in the Colombo district. Great amount of information related to Buddhism and the Buddhist culture can be obtained from this temple. There are also ancient scripts (written in Brahmi Letters) embedded to the rock caves which are considered as archeological resources. The transcription of these scripts state that there were "Arahath Buddhist monks" who were present (and meditating) within this permise. There's a mountain (with renovated stairs) to climb to the top near the Great Buddha statue.

The statue of the lord buddha which is in the top of a mountain belongs to this temple can be seen when you travel through the homagama-kaduwela route. And make us calm most of the time when we see it.
